Utah school gives kids 'disgusting' insects to eat in class for climate assignment on cows killing the Earth
Fox News ^ | March 16, 2023 | Hannah Grossman

'There's only one right answer to this essay. And it's that Americans should be eating bugs,' a teacher said.

A middle school in Utah's Nebo School District gave sixth-grade students "disgusting" insects to eat last week as part of an English assignment on climate change, claiming it would save the environment from cows which were "killing the world," according to a mom who spoke with Fox News Digital.

...

The mother of one of the students – Amanda Wright – told Fox News she believed the kids were being subjected to "indoctrination" into a "dark climate change religion."

...

The climate change assignment instructed sixth-graders to write an argumentative essay, but did not permit students to disagree. The only acceptable answer was that humans should eat insects for their protein instead of cows, which are destroying the Ozone layer with methane gas.

Some students were given extra credit as an incentive to eat the insects.

...

"[My daughter] wasn't given an option to give an argument," Wright said about the argumentative essay in the meeting.

"Well, the assignment was about finding facts to support," Hansen said.

"All the evidence has suggested, that we probably should be eating bugs – it's good for the environment, etc. But I didn't know that that was an offensive topic to indicate," teacher Kim Cutler said, according to an audio recording.

...

"How come we can't state our opinion and write that we shouldn't be eating bugs?" she [the student] asked Cutler.

"Because we don't have any evidence to support it," Cutler said.

Cows are the evil cause of climate change... Only one right answer in an argumentive essay...

Pure indoctrination. I wonder if this teacher eats bugs at home instead of beef?

I’ve got something for the “teacher” to eat and it ain’t bugs.

I occasionally eat bugs because it’s fun to do—especially around kids.

There are multiple edible bugs for sale.

However, I also eat what some call “exotic meats,” which I really enjoy, too.

All of these are permissible, by God.

It’s a public school run by the government and reporting to the government - the parents should have known better.

Good thing none of those kids had an allergy to insects.

“…claiming it would save the environment from cows which were “killing the world,”

Cows aren’t killing the world. Money grubbing politicians and idiot self-loathing liberals are.

Cows are merely white man’s buffalo. Before white man came, there were millions more buffalo on the plains than there are cattle today.

That is your individual choice by your own free will. The people pushing this have an agenda that does not include choices made by free will.

There is no sane adult in the school or the state legislature to allow this to occur. It is severe mind-shaping and child abuse.

Teacher should go through the fear factor challenge and be locked in a box full of Palmetto bugs for a day.

If she loves bugs so much.

Snake, alligator, bear, elk, and others.

Bison, deer, lamb, and goat wouldn’t qualify, but many don’t get around to eating them.

All of these, and more, my family eats.

Prion diseases are transmissible, untreatable, and fatal brain diseases of mammals. Their cause is highly unusual: The host’s normal prion protein can, for unknown reasons, malfunction and assemble into structured aggregates called prions that cause infectious brain disease.

No wonder there is climate mental illness. These kids are being taught that they are destroying a billion year old planet and they believe it. I was listening to the hysterics of adults bemoaning the fact that Biden was going to open up drilling on some federal lands. They went on and on in hysterical voices about the billion year old planet being destroyed. Truly stupid, unhinged, brainwashed people. I’d like to ask one of them exactly what they think is going to happen. Is the planet going to explode from the inside out :)

“Cows aren’t killing the world.”

Oh, yes they are! There is a worldwide cow conspiracy to destroy all human life on the planet as revenge for McDonalds, Burger King, Whattaburger, and so on. No mercy will be shown to the evil humans for their genocidal campaign against the cows.
